I am a Brass Paper Towel Holder. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I'll wipe the floor with other holders. They should just throw in the towel.

Curator's Notes

For an item we reach for most often in the kitchen, the paper towel holder is perhaps the most overlooked tool in regards to design. Futagami brings a thoughtful eye to make a beautiful and highly functional brass paper towel holder. The heavy brass base and wooden top keeps the roll upright and in place, making it easy to tear off a sheet with one hand when there's an urgent mess to clean. Its arched shape not only makes for a beautiful object on the counter but it also serves as a handle to easily take the roll wherever it's needed.
